- Discounts have now been replaced with reward points
- “Ultimate and Premium subscribers earn 10% and 5% respectively -in points when you buy selected games and additions from the Game Pass library,” says Microsoft
More changes have been made to Xbox Game Pass as Microsoft confirms that it has removed discounts on all game and downloadable content (DLC) purchases from its popular subscription service.
Last week, ‘CharlieIntel’ discovered that Game Pass Ultimate Members could no longer access 10% discounts on add-on content to Call of DutyIncluding the removal of the discount on Call of Duty Points and BlackCell, a premium upgrade to Standard Battle Pass that costs real money.
At that time, one thought this change was limited to just Call of Duty and its dlc; However, Microsoft has now confirmed that it now reflects all games and DLC purchases.
Instead of game care discounts, ultimate and premium subscribers will now receive 10% and 5% worth of reward points.
In a statement to IGN, Microsoft said, “This is not specifically for any game and reflects all games and DLC purchases. Instead of a discount on the purchases, ultimate and premium subscribers will earn 10% and 5% points respectively when buying selected games and additions from the Game Pass library.
“Ultimate members continue to have a 20% discount on selected games from the Game Pass Library. On top of that, all reward members will earn points when shopping and added to the store, while Premium and ultimate subscribers will earn even more, 2x and 4x respectively. See more details about the Game Pass Rewards program here.”
This comes after Microsoft announced major changes in Xbox Game Pass, with three upgraded plans and a massive price increase for the ultimate membership.
Now Ultimate costs $ 29.99 / £ 22.99 / AU $ 35.95 a month, up from $ 19.99 / £ 14.99 / AU $ 22.95. There is currently no option for a 12-month subscription.
